Where it is

North Transdanubia (Észak-Dunántúl) lies in north-west Hungary and includes Etyek-Buda near Budapest, Mór, Pannonhalma and Sopron on the Austrian border.

Land and climate

Etyek is cool, and a main source of base wine for sparkling. Sopron is influenced by the nearby Neusiedler See, as the same lake continues over the border in Austria.

Grapes and wines

Etyek makes Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and sparkling wine. Sopron is the home of Kékfrankos (Blaufränkisch) reds. Mór is known for Ezerjó, and Pannonhalma is a monastic estate with a long history.
